You won't be disappointed!

What a waste of my time!!!

Just so...so bad

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

"The Dentist" is exactly what I was hoping it would be. A so-bad-its-good kind of film and it was! Hugely entertaining from the opening with the whole OCD sort of thing, i don't know if it was meant to be funny in places but it just was. The whole on-going joke with the braces and stuff was just hilarious! The acting was very midge, over the top and panto-landish. The directing was even worse! Wow, I don't think I've seen so many bad shot-types since "William and Kate:The Movie" but it all added to the camp fun of it all.As for the story and film itself, it was hugely entertaining, with an exciting finale, and some funny/inexpensive death scenes. If you're a die-hard horror fan, you should be able top see the funny side of it.

Dr. Allan Feinstone witnesses his beautiful wife having an affair with the pool cleaner, thus sending his mind out of control. Plotting revenge on the offending couple is merely the start of a gruesome regime of dental terror.So it looks cheap and Corbin Bernsen in the lead role of Feinstone is hardly a top performer, but as horror pictures go, The Dentist certainly hits a nerve {ahem!}. Director Brian Yuzna is perfect for this type of piece, nicely fusing Feinstone's off kilter visions with genuine scenes of horror, and there is no denying that the horror witnessed in the chair here is seriously messed up!. Outside of that the film really doesn't add up to much, it actually feels more like an 80s film than one from the mid 1990s, such is the cheese feel of the surroundings. Yet The Dentist is something of a must see for horror aficionados, whilst simultaneously acting as a further reason for those who fear the dentist chair to steer well clear of dental problems!.Bloody and at times squirm inducing, The Dentist is an above average genre piece that is just about recommended to those of a similar mind. 5.6/10

The brilliance of this movie is that even a competent dentist is pretty scary. It's one of man's primal fears. This movie is the nightmarish image every kid has to go through in the waiting room. Corbin Bernsen gives a surprisingly non-lackluster performance as a crazed dentist who I guess tries to kill people but he only works on their teeth so it's not really working out. In a particularly gory scene we find so-so actor Earl Boen having his teeth completely destroyed with drills and whatnot, which I guess is the absolute worst you can do when you're a killer dentist. It's a typical Brian Yuzna situation, not well written but there's gore. The plot is shoddy and at times seems to be made up on the spot but hey, it's a killer dentist movie, we've all thought of it but they did it first.

Corbin Bernsen gives a terrifically intense and riveting performance as Dr. Alan Feinstone, a wealthy and successful Beverly Hills dentist who's obsessed with perfection. When he discovers that his lovely blonde babe trophy wife has been cheating on him and the IRS start hounding him about tax problems, Feinstone cracks under the pressure and goes violently around the bend. Director Brian Yuzna, working from a suitably dark, witty and demented script by Stuart Gordon, Dennis Paoli, and Charles Finch, exposes the seething neurosis and psychosis bubbling underneath the squeaky clean well-manicured surface of respectable affluent rich America with deliciously malicious glee. Moreover, Yuzna further spices up the grisly goings on with a wickedly twisted sense of pitch black gallows humor. Bernsen positively shines as Dr. Feinstone; he expertly projects a truly unnerving underlying creepiness that's right beneath Feinstone's deceptively calm and assured veneer. The supporting cast are likewise excellent: Linda Hoffman as Feinstone's bitchy, unfaithful wife Brooke, Earl Boen as smarmy, meddlesome IRS agent Marvin Goldblum, Molly Hagan as feisty assistant Jessica, Patty Toy as perky assistant Karen, Jan Hoag as jolly office manager Candy, Virginya Keehne as sweet, gawky teenager Sarah, Ken Foree as thorough, no-nonsense Detective Gibbs, Tony Noakes as Gibbs' equally shrewd partner Detective Sunshine, Michael Stadvec as womanizing stud muffin pool cleaner Matt, and Mark Ruffalo as on the make sleazeball Steve Landers. The first-rate make-up f/x are every bit as gory, gross and upsetting as they ought to be. The polished cinematography by Levie Isaaks boasts lots of great crazy tilted camera angles and a few tasty zoom-in close-ups. Alan Howarth's spirited shuddery score also hits the flesh-crawling spot. An enjoyably warped treat.
